Why did Danny get shot at the end of American History X?
How did the 'smoke in the face' incident lead to Danny getting shot? Is this really grounds to kill someone?
Best Answer
Blowing smoke into someone's face is an insult. It means you do not respect them, nor their space (which can mean territory). Consider the deaths of people who inadvertently wore the wrong color(s) in a gang territory.
In some gang-member's minds, it does not take much to warrant injuring or even killing someone. Protecting your integrity and the integrity of any others you represent is the definition of being a member.

Answer 2
I believe Danny was shot as revenge for the murder his brother, Derek, committed when he curb stomped that guy. The shooter was the dead guy's younger brother.
